It's always nice to reconnect with old friends, especially at such a stunning Worcestershire wedding venue - Stanbrook Abbey. I was lucky enough to go back and meet some previous clients of mine, as I was asked to photograph their sister's wedding. Natalie and Mark were married in Powick, in St Peter's Church. It was a sentimental day for many reasons, not least of which was the fact that Natalie's grandparents were married in the same church many years ago. The wedding party then moved on to Stanbrook Abbey, a venue not too far from the church, for a memorable afternoon and evening.

The bride prepared for the day at her mother's house, and I met the groom and his men at a nearby pub in order to get some early shots of the day. Right from the off, there was a real sense of family about this wedding and I'm thrilled to have been a part of it.

Natalie chose her dress from Hagley Bridal Studio, and she looked stunning. The flowers were from Helen Steward, and the wedding cars from Concorde Cars. Natalie and Mark's wedding cake was gorgeous, both in look and taste, created by Angela Veronica of The Little Pink Cake Shop. All the finer details came together to make the day truly special. Even more special still, and perhaps one of the more unique things about the day, was that during the group shots outdoors there were Red Arrows flying overheard. It was a marvel.

"Martin was our wedding photographer and he was fantastic. Our photo album is amazing - he has captured the whole day beautifully. In particular the photos at our venue, Stanbrook Abbey, are better than we could have imagined. Some of these have even been used on the Stanbrook Abbey website and have been used to advertise the venue in a local newspaper!! Martin and his colleague were very professional throughout the day, especially in the morning when we were nervously getting ready and they found a way to make us feel at ease and comfortable in the photos. We would highly recommend Martin for your special day!" - Nat and Mark
